Enforce gun laws Connecticut already had
We have new gun laws in the state of Connecticut.
You realize nothing is going to change. Maybe a little, but not much..
As long as our court system allows plea bargaining on cases before the court, it will be business as usual. We had good laws on the books if only they would enforce them.
This is the way I think it should be. If a person commits a crime with a gun of any kind, five years in jail, no plea bargaining, even if it's their first offense, with no time off for good behavior!
Carrying a handgun without a permit, two years in jail, same, no plea bargaining or time off for good behavior.
If a person purchases a gun to give to a felon who can't own a gun, the person buying the gun receives the same sentence as the person committing the crime, with no plea bargaining or time off for good behavior.
Of course this would never happen because the state is already crying the blues because prisons and jails are overcrowded. Who cares! those criminals could be locked up in a toilet for all we care. Do you know what would happen it that was done? The good old ACLU would scream that those criminals' rights are not being protected! My response to that is how about the rights of the poor children in Sandy Hook who lost their lives to a madman!

Mr. DeRienzo is so right. I lived in West Haven and East Haven before moving to Arizona and when the legislature voted and the Governor signed
the law I called his office and I asked what good are these laws and will you guarantee the Connecticut citizens that the new laws will work
or will the gun violence continue and he said he couldn't guarantee nothing, but said if it will save one life it would have done it's job.
So it you have a hundred shootings and one person lives the politicians
are satisfied of the outcome, one lives and 99 die. Mental Giants they are.
Todays story on Terrance Mabry is a prime example of Connecticuts slap on the wrist gun law enforcement policies. He has been slapped on the wrist on 3 occassions for gun charges and that was AFTER already being a convicted felon.
